as always like own nothing but Kaidence and Ava

The hard knock on the door startled Kaidence as she was making dinner in the kitchen. Lyla had to run out and pick the kids up from Gemma's so she figured the least she could do was have supper ready for when they returned.

"Hey Darlin" she was happy to see Jax at the door, and even happier when he pulled her in for a big hug.

"Hey Jax, what's up?" She led him into the kitchen and continued stirring the almost done pasta noodles. Not that he needed a reason to come by, she really just wanted to make conversation.

Jax sat down nervously not sure what to say in a chair at the table and pulled out the police report he had folded up earlier, he put it down on the table and leaned foreword.

"What's this?" Kaidence asked before picking it up and slowly unfolding it.

"Ava's police report, it doesn't say a whole lot but I want you to know I'm looking into it" Jax grabbed her hand and squeezed it to show that he was there for her through this.

Kaidence was conflicted on whether or not she should read the paper in her hands. though it was thoughtful of Jackson to bring it to her, she could already feel the sting of pain stirring up inside her.

"They don't know who did it?" Her hands would have been shaking if it wasn't for Jax's hand holding hers for comfort.

"Not yet, but we will!" He had made it top priority to catch the culprit.

"We? I thought you were a mechanic?" Kaidence looked at him questionable and put the paper back down on the table.

"I'm a man of many talents" there was a hint of confidence as he spoke. Kaidence could tell he was sure of himself which made him even more attractive.

"Thanks Jax" she walked back to the stove to strain the noodles, just as Lyla had walked in the door with the kids. "You're just on time!"

Jax stood up and smiled at the kids as they came into the kitchen to begin getting comfortable for dinner. He looked over at Lyla and let out a big sigh "can I talk to you"

Lyla smiled at him cheerfully and walked towards her bedroom so they could chat privately.

Once the door was shut Jax put his hands in his pockets and leaned against the door so he could hear if anyone was coming. "I saw the security footage from the TM last night"

Lylas face fell, she sat down on the bed and put her hands over her face "how bad does it look?"

"Pretty bad" he began to feel worried, how was he going to explain this to Kaidence?

"I didn't kill her Jax, I just wanted to make sure she didn't come back" Lyla began to tear up.

"Alright, we'll figure this out" Jax breathed deeply as he opened up the door and headed back out to be with Kaidence.

Lyla threw herself back onto the her bed and screamed into her pillow. She was hardly a violent person at all yet the one time she tries to help her cousin get rid of the negative in her life, she could land herself being questioned for a murder investigation.

After dinner, Kaidence found herself laying in her bed with Jax cuddled up behind her. It felt great to have his arms wrapped around her, the sound of him breathing in her ear relaxed her. All the sadness and frustration she felt today just seemed to slip away as her body lay perfectly between his.

"Stay with me tonight?" her voice was sultry.

Jax smirked and his arms tightened around her, he kissed the back of her head "I'm not going anywhere"

Kaidence turned around so that they were face to face and gently kissed his lips, she had been wanting to do that since the day they had met at Teller-Morrow. Her heart skipped a beat and her skin broke out in goose bumps as Jax deepened the kiss, allowing both of their tongues to connect. she felt his hands run down her back to grab her butt and pull her even closer, a small moan escaped her lips. In a matter of seconds Kaidence found herself underneath him, with her legs wrapped around him and being covered in passionate kisses. She was about to pull off his shirt to take things even further when his phone rang.

"Shit" he groaned as he pulled it out of his pocket "yeah?, okay I'll be right there" he had a frustrated look on his face as he slipped his cut back on and stood up.

"I have to run, sorry darlin" he cupped her cheek with his hand and kissed her lips, before unwillingly heading for the door "I'll call you later"

Kaidence sighed "I should probably try and get some sleep anyways"

"Alright, I'll call you in the morning then" Jax was a little disappointed that she didn't invite him back to cuddle, but he knew how hard today had been on her.

Kaidence nodded and headed towards her dresser to change into pyjamas. Jax tried to linger at the door, still not ready to leave her yet when his phone rang again "yeah? I'm coming!"

Jax headed into the clubhouse to search for Chibbs and Juice, he found them both hunched over Juices computer.

"What's up Brotha?" He stood behind them and saw the security footage paused on the screen.

"I hacked into the security systems for all the shops located in the direction that Ava went" Juice looked up at Jax and continued "the last shop on the corner managed to catch a silver van following her but that's it"

"Okay?" Jax raised an eyebrow "so we find who was driving the van"

Juice smiled very pleased with himself "one step ahead of you, I managed to be able to catch the license plate number and found out that the van belongs to some guy named Roscoe"

Jax paused for a second, he had heard that name before but couldn't remember where.

Juice noticed the confused look on his face and smiled even bigger "so I did a search on Roscoe and found this" he typed for a few seconds on the computer and then turned the screen to show Jax the police record.

"What the hell did the Calaveras want with Ava?" He recognized the picture instantly as the president of the Calaveras MC.

"That's what we were wondering" Chibbs piped in trying to help with the dazed look in Jackson's eyes.

"Then I remembered that Ava was going on all Friday night during the party about the silver van that rear ended them" Juice said before closing the computer

Jax pulled out his cellphone as quick as he could and dialled Kaidence's number

"Hey, you know the guy who rear ended you on Friday" he paused and "do you remember what he looked like?"

"No nothing to worry about, I was just curious" he lied before hanging up the phone and looking back at Chibbs and Juice.

"It still doesn't answer what the hell Roscoe was doing in Charming in the first place!" Chibbs added

"Why don't we go ask him" Jax said before leading the two of them out the door.

It didnt take long for word to travel around Lodi that the sons had wandered into town. Jax had already called ahead to the Grim Bastards to meet them and act as extra muscle incase everything went south. They headed towards the abandoned warehouse where the Calaveras had agreed to meet, neither one of them surprised to see the Mayans there.

"What's this about Jax" it was Alveraz who spoke up first as they got off of their bikes.

"A friend of mine was beaten to death" Jax took off his sunglasses and strutted over to the middle of the room.

"What's this have to do with us" Alverez asked.

"Homeboy over there rear ended her two days ago, he was seen following her the night she was killed" Jax took a cigarette out from his pack and lit it

"None of us were anywhere near Charming last night" Roscoe said smugly

"Video Footage doesn't lie" Jax raised his eyebrows at him

Alverez turned to Roscoe and said something in Spanish with an extremely harsh tone before slapping him in the back of the head

Jax tried not to laugh

"I'm sorry about your friend Jax, this one has a mind of his own" Alverez eye balled Roscoe

"We're not patched over yet Marcus, I do what I need to to save the respect of my club" Roscoe said in attempt to stand his ground.

"What could Ava had done to disrespect your club? She's only been here three days" Jax was beginning to get angry

"The bitch tried to emasculate me in front of my club, making demands like she was my motha. Then I saw her with you and your boys, you obviously didn't teach her what her place was so I did" Roscoe stared Jax right in the eyes, spitting as he spoke

"beating her to death, that's how you teach her?" Jax stepped foreword to get into Roscoes face but was cut off by Alverez who reached out and knocked Roscoe on the side of his head with his gun. Roscoe hit the ground out cold while everyone else just stood there, knowing there was nothing they could do.

"I'll take care of this idiot, sorry about your friend" Alverez said before yelling at his crew in spanish

Jax turned to walk away, feeling somewhat satisfied. Though something was still burning in the back of his mind "what was he doing in Charming?"

Alverez looked up and shrugged "I don't know but when I do I'll make sure he doesn't do it again!"

Kaidence woke up the next morning to her cellphone ringing, she stirred in her bed for a few seconds in hopes of it not being important and smiled when it stopped. She closed her eyes in attempt to fall back asleep, but no such luck. Her phone started to ring again, she groaned out loud and rubbed her eyes before reaching for her phone. A smile made its way to her lips when she saw that it was Jax.

"Mornin Darlin" his voice sounded a little more awake and alert then hers.

"Morning" she replied as she threw her legs over the bed and stretched.

"Want to go for breakfast?"

Kaidence grinned at the request, she had fallen asleep with hopes to see him again.

"Sure, just give me a few minutes to get ready" Hopefully she could find something decent to wear.

"Try and hurry, I'm pulling up now" she could hear the excitement in his face and that made hers flush. Kaidence hung up the phone and ran over to her suitcase to pull out a pair of black jeans and a black tank top, she ran a brush through her long blonde hair and debated putting it up but decided against it. She quickly added some concealer and mascara to her face before zipping on a pair of black ankle boots and her black leather jacket.

"Hey" she said as she walked out the door towards him.

Jax let out a whistle at her, it had only been ten minutes since she had gotten out of bed and the girl looked amazing.

Kaidence blushed as she grabbed the helmet from him and put it on, she couldn't wait for the two of them to spend some drama free time alone.

"Ready?" Jax asked as he waited for her to get on the bike behind him before starting it.

"Always" she replied as she wrapped her arms around him and rested her head on his back, she could really get used to this.

"I've got something to tell you" Jax said once they were in the booth and had already ordered.

Kaidence looked up at him and smiled.

"We found the guy last night" Jax said with his voice lower then usual.

Kaidence frowned "you found the guy? Why haven't the police called to notify me?"

"Because they don't know who it is, we found him and took care of it" Jax put his hand on hers a squeezed. He kept forgetting how little she knew about the club, the expression on her face afterwards was priceless - like a little deer in the headlights.

Kaidence wrinkled her nose, taking in what he was saying. She knew that there was more to him the being just a mechanic, she should have recognized the cut on his back as being the same one her cousins husband used to wear.

"Who is he?" She asked as she fidgeted with a salt shaker

"Just some guy from Lodi" Jax wanted to be honest with her, but he didn't want her to get scared and leave.

"What did you do to him?" Kaidence couldn't help but feel a tad bit turned on at the thought of him hunting down this guy, she felt safe in a sense that he was capable of doing that for her.

Jax sat back in his chair and smiled "he won't be coming back to Charming"

Kaidence smiled, she was about to ask how he found him when the waitress came back with there food. They ate in silence, with constant looks at one another. Everything felt right, like this was how life was supposed to be.

After breakfast they pulled up to Lyla's, Kaidence got off of the bike and kissed Jax on the cheek "thank you, for everything!"

"Anytime" Jax said as she turned to walk away. He really didn't want to leave her yet, so he grabbed her hand and pulled her into him for a deeper kiss.

Kaidence relaxed in his arms, she really enjoyed kissing him because for that moment he did belong to her and she was willing to do anything to hold into that feeling!

"Do you want to come inside?" Jax grinned when the words left her lips.

She lead him inside the house and towards the guest bedroom, once inside she shut the door and pushed him down onto the bed before pushing herself on top of him. That moment was perfect, she had every inch of his attention. It was as if something had taken over her, she felt like she needed to be with him and from the soft way he was caressing her - he felt that way two. The two of them belonged with one another, and they both new it. Kaidence pulled off her shirt and began kissing a little rougher, she wanted this more then anything.

They laid there wrapped in each others arms as they heard Lyla and the kids come in. Jax kissed Kaidence on the forehead then got up to retrieve his clothing from around the room. He laughed when he spotted her thing hanging off of the side of the dresser mirror.

Kaidence giggled as he shot her underwear towards her like a sling shot, she grabbed them off of the bed and put them on before getting up and joining the search for her own clothes.

Once they were both dressed and Kadiences hair was fixed they headed out to the kitchen where Lyla was sitting with Ellie.

"Hey Ly, how was your day?" Kaidence asked as she pulled a cookie out of the cookie jar and took a bite

"From the looks on your faces it wasn't as good as yours" Lyla said with a wink.

"Kaidence do you think you can help me with my math homework?" Piper called out from the living room.

Kaidence nodded her head and headed towards the living room to help him out.

"Why don't you go help her" Jax said to Ellie as an excuse to talk to Lyla alone.

As soon as Ellie was out of sight Jax smiled over at Lyla

"We got the guy, you're clear" he told her

Lyla felt like a big weight had been lifted off of her shoulders "what about the footage of me?"

"Juice is working on erasing it right now, as far as Roosevelt is concerned you dropped her off then came home"

Lyla was going to say thank you when Kaidence came around the corner, so instead she nodded.

Jax pulled Kaudence onto his lap and whispered something in her ear that made her turn pink and giggle. Lyla was overjoyed with the sight of her cousin smiling, she was thankful for Jackson Teller.

The two of them began exchanging words back and forth before Jax leaned in and kissed her sweetly on the mouth "you're something else babe"

Kaidence felt the goosebumps form on her skin as he called her babe, she began grinning from ear to ear. She leaned in to kiss him, Jax opened his mouth to deepen the kiss but they were interrupted once again by his phone. Jax rolled his eyes and fished it out of his pocket "Yeah? Tara, slow down!"

Kaidence stood up when she heard Jax say the name of his wife. The two of them may be getting a divorce, but they were at the moment still married. She grabbed a cigarette out of her pack of the table and sparked it.

"I've got to go pick up my boys" he said before leaning down to kiss her "Tara's coming home"
